There has never been a more powerful or critical time to do this work than right now. We are at a crucial time in the evolution of our world, a time when the world needs distinctions and tools that deliver permanent and lasting change, a time when people need to be equipped to impact the areas of their lives where they’re suffering and resigned, both for the individual good and our collective survival.

Inside the Integrative Coaching Training Program, you will be trained in a proven, unparalleled future-focused client-driven coaching methodology that will support you in becoming a spiritual teacher, an emotional educator and an effective guide to success, leading others from the limitation to unlimited possibility.

This training is based on the work of New York Times bestselling author Debbie Ford and has a particular emphasis on shadow integration. A pioneering force incorporating the study and integration of the shadow into modern emotional and spiritual practices, Debbie is the bestselling author of The Dark Side of the Light Chasers, Secret of the Shadow, Why Good People Do Bad Things, and The Shadow Effect. She is the Executive Producer of The Shadow Effect movie, creator of The Shadow Process workshop and founder of The Ford Institute for Transformational Training.

Why study the transformative power of the shadow? Shadow work is rapidly becoming known as one of the most effective transformational modalities of our time. You have an unprecedented opportunity to be a part of this revolutionary work while birthing a new lexicon into the world. Just imagine being part of this evolutionary shift. All of our lives are determined by a set of assumptions, core beliefs, behaviors and habits that were birthed out of shame and are now hidden in the shadow of our unconscious minds, affecting our relationships, our bank accounts, our bodies and blocking our true potential. These often hidden and rejected parts of ourselves create the limited view from which we can experience the world. Imagine if instead of being controlled by our shadows, we could follow the sacred path we were meant to live – the path of our soul. It is there that we stand firmly inside our innate purpose, finally realizing our capacity for greatness. Rooted in our newfound strength, we discover that we have everything we need to respond to the calling of our soul.

The Integrative Coaching Training Program provides a high degree of specialized training in the skills, distinctions and presence necessary to serve as a catalyst for change in the world. Our program is different from any other coaching program because we train Integrative Coaches in the concepts and tools for identifying and effectively breaking through the limitations of the shadow. We also insist that Integrative Coaches do and continue to do their own personal work of transformation and evolution. So in addition to being trained to support others to unconceal, own and embrace all of who they are, Integrative Coaches are trained to live lives life they love, give up their resentments, truly leave the past behind, light up a room, and be experts in emotional freedom. Integrative Coaches can confidently guarantee life-changing transformation. When you choose to train with us, you will join this exclusive group of highly skilled and impeccably trained professionals. You will be part of a worldwide community committed to causing a global shift in consciousness.

If you are looking for a second career filled with passion, meaning and purpose or are a therapist, counseling professional, educator, life coach, executive, manager, or someone who wants to deepen the work you’re already doing and you are committed to being a guide for others and are being called to serve a greater cause, this program is designed for you.

This year-long training program is organized into five distinct modules that are taken in sequential order. You will attend classes over the phone in a global virtual classroom on the newest interactive communication platform. Classes meet every Tuesday at 5:00 PM Pacific. Attendance is expected but if you miss a call, recordings as well as other resources are available on a private course website. The program includes two profoundly effective in-person training intensives.
